Day #7 in A Year of Thanks:
I’m thankful for solitude.

I’m an extroverted introvert, someone who is naturally inclined to live a life as an introvert, yet I am a social butterfly with people who are important to me, and I’ll have so much energy that you’d think I was on a sugar high. I can also adapt to more formal social settings when necessary, even if I’m not totally in my element. In those situations, I will typically be more observant of people, along with what’s going on, and I’ll mirror the energy that’s been put out. When I’ve had my fill of socialization, or when certain types of personalities have drained my social battery, I need solitude to recharge. I become a grumpy little gremlin if I don’t get my alone time with some peace and quiet. I don’t like being crabby. It leaves a terrible taste in my mouth that ruins my day. So, I am incredibly thankful that I can get solitude when and wherever possible, such as right now.
